Infuriating graphic tweeted out by the UF UAA on facilities

[gator1946]

Time to remove them.
You sound like professor cat lady.
I haven't dealt with them lately. Give money and they come back for more. Screw that. My general impression is there are too many of them and too many that don't know what they're doing.


We DO pay them already.
We pay "full cost of attendance stipends". The lowest in the SEC (except Vandy) of course.
Why do you think it would change if we were allowed to pay them?
The more I think about it. The more I think I'm wrong and what you're implying is right. We'd probably the same ol' ****.I still think we better look to the future and income years out. Mortgages for facilities come due.

We don't pay our coaches the going rate so why would we pay the players?
Why we don't pay assistants top dollar beats the s.h.i.t. out of me. On my list of dumb things that's tops.

Do tell.

This sounds interesting.

So is it racists if white lumber/flannelsexuals do it? And blacks can't?

I guess I don't understand where the racist part comes in.

Well, because he's racist.

Duh.

Yeah, if you can't understand a possibly racist situation, as contrived as this, then you are clearly racist.

That is a given.

Let's get back on topic. Any more political crap gets deleted.

I personally feel that complaining about facilities is an exercise in futility. No one that matters is going to care. If it did matter this would’ve been done years ago. It is what it is.

It is in futility. We're practicing breathing exercises to prevent any unnecessary killings.

A few years ago people said that about complaining about Fooley and Sharkfvkker. Now they are both gone.

Or sort gone when it comes to The Slumlord.

 

[YLGator]

I'll continue to complain about it incessantly until we actually do something about it, or I stop breathing.

Meanwhile in Alabama....$92.5 million:

Big changes made to Bryant-Denny Stadium renovation plan

Big changes made to Bryant-Denny Stadium renovation plan

The plan and price for renovating Bryant-Denny Stadium has changed significantly since being announced in August.

Out is the large student terrace and large scoreboard that was to cut into the south end zone upper deck, according to documents set to be presented Thursday at a Board of Trustees obtained by AL.com. Instead, the proposal calls for replacing the four corner video scoreboards with new ones approximately 60 percent larger than the existing ones.

The cost of this stage of renovations is also going up to $92.5 million from the $75.5 million from the original request.

Work on the first stage of the stadium renovation is set to begin after the 2019 season and be completed by August 2020.

The project will be financed through a few different places including $25 million from donations to the Crimson Standard campaign launched when renovation plans were announced last August. The biggest piece of the pie will be $48.4 million in bonds.

Removing the student terrace would have an impact on the capacity of the stadium. It called for cutting out a large portion of the upper deck completed in 2010 and drop the capacity significantly from the current 101,821.

Other changes from the original plan include

-- Putting corner loge box seating at the southwest Level 6 instead of at the south end of the stadium.

-- Building concessions, restrooms, “social spaces” with televisions at the ground level where students enter on the southwest side.

-- Building two new stair towers on the west side for the suites and club levels.

The rest of the plan appears to be the same from the August proposalincluding building a tunnel from the walk of champions to go straight into the Alabama locker room instead of looping around as it’s currently configured.

The plan will be presented to the physical properties committee at Thursday’s board of trustees meeting in Tuscaloosa. The committee will also hear proposals to revise plans for the $3 million renovation of the softball program’s Rhoads Stadium and the $16.1 million renovation of the Mal Moore Athletic Facility.

Well....... we are building a Taj Fkking Majal for the baseball team and their 14 fans.

 

[Sec14Gator]

I just had lunch with an Alabama booster who talked about their $600 million athletic facilities project. They are more than halfway towards fully funding it. We are still working on funding for $160 million despite every reasonable financing option available and some of the largest cash flow available in the entirety of college sports. The scope we have fallen behind is only growing.

WE ARE NOT CLOSING THE GAP!

600 mil for Bammer will likely be 90% football.

150 mil for us is currently 100 mil for other sports and 0 for football.

I don't mind the tweets , I don't have to read them. Its the dang calls at 8:30 at night from their money hounds. Maybe if I pony up they will take my name off the call list.
